The Toad and his Prey.

The accuracy of aim in the young
toad is similar to the accuracy with
which the young quail or chicken picks
up a grain. A, young chicken, having
only its head out of the shell picked up
a fly that lighted near it. And said
Mr.. Calthrop, when you consider the
nice cooperation of nervous and

Under a beehive l observed for
several successive Summers a toad
watching for overloaded bees who
failed to reach the threshold of the hive.
No sooner did they lall on the ground
than he snapped them up. But one
clay ! saw he had lost by some accident
his right eye, and when he struck at a
bee he lost his aim, and picked up dirt
from one side OF the bee. He wiped his
mouth with his forepaw and tried again
and again. The bee generally managed
to climb to the top of some little
prominence on the ground and fy
away before the toad succeeded. The
poor fellow was half starved and grew
thin, but observed before the summer
was ended he had learned to aim as
correctly with one eye as he used to
with two, and had again recovered his
plun1pness. Nature

Mr.. WAsHBURNE, formerly United
States Minister at Paris, whose death,
accompanied by obituary notices, was
formally announced some days ago by.
the Paris newspapers, is reported to be
rapidly recovering. Some of these
notices, especially those emanating from
Republican sources, were far from fat

the unique distinction Of knowing during
life what men say Of him after death,
SO that, if he be so inclined, he may
moralize on the ingratitude of mankind
and the curses that await its sbene-
factors. ofMr. Washburne's sympathy

A Member of The Finance Committed

 Make Another Hid For The Derby
 A Meeting of The Committee Next
 Tuesday Evening.
 The committee on finance will meet Tues: day evening next. The committee will on that evening decide on future meetings for the consideration of the offers for the Derby road. The ''Starbuck" offer will be consid- cred first. A member of the committee said last evening that the city would soon receive another offer for it's interest in the Derby. It will be from the same source whence came the f'Starbuck" offer. He remarked that with the competition between "Starbuek' parties and the Consolidated, he thou ght the city would in all probability get very good remuneration for her interest in the Derby. The board of aldermen meets next Monday evening. He was of the opinion that the new offer would then be made formally.
 It was also rumored about the City Hall lobbies during last evening that still another offer would soon be made for the Derby. The rumor, however, could not be confirmed. The offer, it is purported, will come from President SperIy.
